Wheels Just in.... Tire dilemma.
I just got a set of 20's in and have been searching around for tires.
Wheels:
Front: 20x9 +15
Rear: 20x11 +15
I originally want to do Federal SS595 all around but they only have them avail.
for the rear wheels in ( 245 / 35 / 20 )
They have the Falken 452 in stock for the front wheels. Should I do (215/35/20 or 225/35/20? )
Would yo guys run two different sets of tires for the car?
Im undecided . If so, what do you think about the tire sizes?
Let me know!
Thanks

Your sizes are WAY off. Go here and get a better idea of the sizes you need. Do you have AWD or RWD? If AWD, you'll need to keep the overall diameter very close. OEM spec is 25.9" for AWD and 25.8" for RWD...keep that in mind also.

He s actually only 16mm more aggressive than me in the rear, you ll need about a 1/2 to 3/4 inch pull or so ideal size for a slight pull and the front will need to be shaved or rolled Im running 9 +12 in the front with no pull but shaved and hammered flat. im running a 225/30 on the 9 and 245/30 on the 10.5 post pics can t wait to see how it turns out!

My car is RWD and It would be working with Megan Series coilovers and I am planning to roll/shave the fenders of course. I was aware that some pulling will have to be done for the rears but I'm not sure how much we're talkin. I was saying, Will it be alright to have two different brand tires? Im not so sure. Also - lkapimp: Would you recommend doing 35 profile instead of your 30 to avoid blowouts?!

Yes it's okay, as long as the different tires are not on the same axle. It's okay with one brand up front and a different brand in the back. And Since you're running really aggressive wheels I would say you need to compensate with the tires as much as you can..so I think 245/30 or less would be better.

For your set up, go with a 225/35 front and 255/30 rear. The overall rolling diameter of them is a little over 26" which is not too far from the factory 25.X" rolling diameter. With the stretching, it should be about right.
Blowouts would be one of the last things to worry about, seeing as that there should be TPMS sensors on each wheel. You can set the warning when the sensors go off to keep pressure in check. Most blowouts are due to low air pressure and I am pretty sure your going to be running a lot more psi then usual.
